[QUOTE="sweetbloodsher, post: 1541820, member: 367930"] I've been type 1 for two years, and have been expecting this to happen, but not yet! Used to check BS in the restrooms, but that was horrible and disgusting, and quite the balancing act. Now I have a Dexcom so that's not an issue. When I inject at the table in a restaurant, I'm usually concentrating pretty hard, injecting usually into my thigh through pants, so I'm not aware of who's watching. Of course, if someone shouted something, I'd perk right up. The only comments I've heard were from very nice servers who recognized my CGM/meter b/c they have experience with other diabetics. I know most people have problems with needles, but they have the option to look away. I don't have experience with addicts, but do they really shoot up in restaurants??? Alex, I'm sorry you had to go through this, and, hopefully, it won't happen again. Sharing you experience has made me think and be prepared for my own reaction, should this happen to me in the future. Think I like, "Sorry my diabetes offends you." [/QUOTE]
